Fluorchem Corporation™ propellants and blowing agents have supported industries worldwide by delivering the material solutions needed for the implementation of next-generation, low-GWP propellant and blowing agent technologies.
As the world seeks to move away from chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons to protect the ozone layer and limit global warming, Fluorchem is assisting in our transition to non-ozone depleting, low-GWP substances by developing efficient and cost-effective solutions.
PFAS (Perfluorinated) Technology
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used as highly inert, non-ozone depleting and nonflammable alternatives to CFCs, HCFCS and HFCs for use as propellants and solvents.
HFO (Hydrofluoroolefin) Technology
Our HFOs are next-generation, low-GWP, non-ozone-depleting propellants and blowing agents, which have been designed to match the thermodynamic performance of their predecessors, with a fraction of the environmental effects.
Fluorchem propellants & blowing agents help to make modern-day aerosol products possible and with a reduced environmental impact. Propellants are widely used in many everyday products including gas dusters, hairspray, spray paint, and more. Blowing agents are used to create cellular structures to provide structural integrity to blown foam insulation in refrigerators, furniture, building products and packaging.
Fluorchem propellants and blowing agents are highly advanced engineered materials to ensure performance and energy efficiency in important applications like refrigeration and insulation and consumer products from cosmetics to paints.
In accordance with the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, Fluorchem Corporation ended production of ozone depleting hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) in 2020.
